Educational visits to conferences in London on modules are undertaken during both Year 12 and Year 13, and students visit the British Museum to complement their studies. Theatre excursions are arranged to see Greek tragedies wherever possible. The department also organises a visit to Greece every two years, which is a useful but not compulsory part of the course, and very popular with students. The cost of trips varies from year to year, but we pursue value for money.
Students do not have to have studied Classical Civilisation before to take this course, but at least a Grade 6 in a GCSE humanities subject (e.g. English or History) is essential. Students should have an interest in reading literature and learning about the society of the ancient Greeks and Romans, through their poems, plays and art. Students should have good analytical powers and be able to write well-argued essays.
